Lake Eyre: A journey through the heart of the continent
The country’s biggest lake, Lake Eyre, is surrounded by an ever changing environment. It is generally dry and barren, devoid of life- but when the rains finally come the area transforms into something quite spectacular.
In 2009, ABC journalist Paul Lockyer set out to document the story of the lake. Featuring photographs by John Bean, Gary Ticehurst and endpapers by artist John Olsen, the recently published book is an amazing view of the lake and surrounding area.
